    Awesome 1960's vintage Omega pocketwatch issued to drivers and guards on the NSW government railway between 1855 and 1972.

    The NSWGR dial and hands are in awesome condition.

    Cal 181 movement is running well but has not been serviced in a few years. I'd recommend a service if you're going to be using it extensively.

    Case is in great condition for it's age and engraved with the NSWGR asset number on the back. No big dings or scratches (apart from the engraving obviously)

    Great collectible piece for people who are into watches or trains. My interest is in wearing my watch collection and I'm rarely wearing a 3 piece suit these days so I'd like this to go to someone who will use or appreciate it more than me.

    ;)

    It's OK, just hoped this would fly under the radar, but then, that's the global WIS community for you.

    Yeah, I had a $500 buy it now on until it got it's first bid so I'm pretty happy. A bit more beer money for my trip back to the UK.
